PF Depute Bedford had told court earlier that Campbell had a list of previous convictions for assault dating back to 2008. Some of these offences involved knives and he had been sent to prison for three years on 2013 for a serious assault.

Campbell pled guilty to assaulting Sean McFadden on September 22, 2016 at Old Rutherglen Road and striking him with a knife to his severe injury and permanent disfigurement.

Before sentencing Sheriff Paul Crozier went through Campbell’s long list of convictions and said: “Here you are again on indictment. You are a menace. But for your plea of guilty it would have been a five year sentence in prison, I will reduce that to 45 months.”
